23 Funny Moments When Reality Did Not Meet Expectations

Sometimes you have to get back to the basics. It's funny to see something fail. Just like we laugh at dudes wiping out when trying to ride a storage container lid like a snowboard down a hill, we will laugh when a Powerpuff Girl popsicle looks more like a yellow blob than a cartoon character. When things go wrong, we can either wallow in our disappointment, or we can let it tickle our funny bone. It's up to us. When we set out to make a Cars-themed birthday cake for our sons, and no one could tell what we were even going for, we had to laugh. We laugh because otherwise we'd cry. 

This collection of images embodies that feeling. The moment when you open up the Wendy's box and have to readjust your expectations. The moment when you rip open the Shein package only to be left with no questions as to why it only cost $4.
